Novel ingestible capsule with Bluetooth can monitor health
Manufactured using 3D-printing technology, the capsules could be deployed to deliver drugs to treat a variety of diseases, particularly in cases where drugs must be taken over a long period of time.
World's first rollable touch-screen tablet inspired by ancient scrolls developed
The device, called MagicScroll, is comprised of a high-resolution flexible display that can be rolled or unrolled around a central, 3D-printed cylindrical body containing the device's computerised inner-workings.
Scientists have developed a faster and cost-effective coloured 3D printing method
Materials, such as carbon nanotubes, carbon black and graphene, absorb light much more strongly than the polymers and transfer heat to them, enabling the use of cheaper, lower-power lasers.
Scientists develop 3D-printed, driverless boats
Researchers have developed self-driving boats, created from 3D printed parts, which will be capable of operating on roadways and bridges as well.
